Energy Changes in Living Organisms

One basic requirement for life is a source of energy. Bioenergetics is the study of the transformation, distribution, and utilization of energy by living organisms.

The major source of biological energy is the chemical

reactions occurring inside cells. The bioenergetics of a cell can be compared to the

energetics of a manufacturing plant as seen on the following slide . . .

Chapter Outline

4

Energy Changes in Living Organisms

First, energy is delivered to the cell or manufacturing plant. Second, this energy is converted to a more usable form. Third, work is done.

Chapter Outline

5

Metabolism and Cell Structure

The sum of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism is defined as metabolism.

Metabolism is subdivided into two contrasting categories:

anabolism and catabolism . . .

Chapter Outline

6

Metabolism and Cell Structure

Anabolism is the process by which simple substances are synthesized (built up) into complex substances.

Catabolism is the process by which complex substances

are broken down into simpler substances. • Anabolic reactions usually involve carbon reduction and

consume cellular energy.

• Catabolic reactions usually involve carbon oxidation and produce energy for the cell.

Chapter Outline

7

Metabolism and Cell Structure

Cells segregate many of their metabolic reactions into specific, subcellular locations.

The simple procaryotes (cells without internal membrane-

bound bodies) have a minimum amount of spatial organization.

Metabolic reactions in the cells of higher plants and

animals are often segregated into specialized compartments. These cells, the eucaryotes, contain internal, membrane-bound bodies called organelles as seen on the following slide . . .

Metabolism and Cell Structure

In procaryotes the anabolic processes of DNA and RNA synthesis are localized in the nuclear material, whereas most other metabolic reactions are spread throughout the cytoplasm.

In the eucaryotic cell, most of the DNA and RNA syntheses

are localized in the nucleus. Anabolism of proteins takes place in the ribosomes, whereas that of carbohydrates and lipids occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

Your Turn!

The formation of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water is anabolic or catabolic?

This process is anabolic since this reaction requires energy

and produces a more complex molecule.

Chapter Outline

12

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

The ultimate source of biological energy on Earth is sunlight. Plants capture light energy and transform it to chemical energy by a process called photosynthesis.

This chemical energy is stored in the form of reduced

carbon atoms in carbohydrate molecules. The energy contained in carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins comes from sunlight.

Chapter Outline

13

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

Humans draw most of their energy from foodstuffs that contain reduced carbons. Fats are more reduced than carbohydrates and are more energy rich.

Chapter Outline

14

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

The oxidation of food molecules result in a release of energy. This is similar to the release of energy when wood is burned. However the energy released by cells when food is oxidized occurs in a stepwise fashion. The energy is not released all at once.

Carbohydrate carbons are oxidized to carbon dioxide

during oxidation. This gas is exhaled as a waste product.

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

When energy levels change, energy must be released or absorbed as shown by the arrows in the diagram. Photosynthesis causes carbons to move to a higher energy level, as they are reduced to carbohydrate carbons. The carbohydrate carbons are then oxidized to a lower energy level with the release of energy to do work.

Chapter Outline

18

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

In eucaryotic cells, specific organelles are present that specialize in redox reactions. The mitochondria are the sites for most of the catabolic redox reactions.

Chapter Outline

19

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

Chloroplasts are organelles found in higher plants and contain an electron-transport system that is responsible for the anabolic redox reactions in photosynthesis.

Chapter Outline

20

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

To move electrons from one place to another the cell uses a set of redox coenzymes. The redox coenzymes act as temporary storage places for electrons. The three most common redox coenzymes are

• nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+ • nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, NADP+ • flavin adenine dinucleotide, FAD. Humans synthesize NAD+ and NADP+ from the vitamin

niacin, while FAD is made from the vitamin riboflavin.

oxidized form reduced form The addition of electrons and hydrogen is reduction. The structure with less electrons and hydrogen (the oxidized form) is reduced by the addition of electrons and hydrogen.

Chapter Outline

29

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

A very important function of the redox coenzymes is to carry electrons to the mitochondrial electron-transport system. As the coenzymes are oxidized, molecular oxygen is reduced.

Chapter Outline

30

Biological Oxidation-Reduction: Energy Delivery

Energy is released with the movement of electrons. Over 85% of a typical cell’s energy is derived from this redox process.

Energy released by the redox process is not used

immediately by the cell but is instead stored, usually in high-energy phosphate bonds such as those in ATP.

Molecular Oxygen and Metabolism

Molecular oxygen plays a critical role in energy production. It acts as the final receptacle for electrons in the mitochondrial electron-transport system.

Aerobic metabolism (metabolism in the presence of

molecular oxygen) is the best way to produce energy for most cells.

Chapter Outline

37

Molecular Oxygen and Metabolism

The chemical reactions inside mitochondria are specifically designed to carry out a four-electron redox reaction with diatomic oxygen.

Other reduced products of O2 are dangerous. They are known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), and can react with and destroy many vital cell molecules. For example sometimes a two-electron redox reaction occurs which makes hydrogen peroxide (an ROS).

Chapter Outline

38

Molecular Oxygen and Metabolism

Since cells have to live with the danger of ROS they have developed defense mechanisms including two important protective enzymes. Most cells carry an enzyme, superoxide dismutase, that destroys superoxides, O2

- (another ROS) by making hydrogen peroxide. A second enzyme, catalase, can convert the hydrogen peroxide into water.

Chapter Outline

39

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

Cells need an energy-delivery system. Most cellular energy is produced in the mitochondria, but this energy must be transported throughout the cell.

Such a delivery system must carry relatively large amounts

of energy and be easily accessible to cellular reactions. Molecules that contain high-energy phosphate bonds meet this need.

Chapter Outline

40

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

The most common high-energy phosphate bond within the cell is the phosphate anhydride bond (or phosphoanhydride bond).

Chapter Outline

41

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

The phosphate anhydride bond is an important component of the nucleotide triphosphates, the most important of which is adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Chapter Outline

42

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

Adenosine triphosphate functions by storing and transporting the energy in its high-energy phosphate bonds to the places in the cell where energy is needed. ATP is the common intermediary in energy metabolism.

The cell realizes several advantages by storing energy in

ATP . . .

Chapter Outline

43

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

First, the stored energy is easily accessible to the cell and readily released by a hydrolysis reaction yielding adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate ion (Pi).

Chapter Outline

44

High-Energy Phosphate Bonds

Second, ATP serves as the common energy currency for the cell. Energy from catabolism of many different kinds of molecules is stored in ATP.

In the cell, energy utilization is greatly simplified by

converting stored energy to ATP, the common energy currency.

Chapter Outline

45

Your Turn!

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate and ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. What does AMP stand for? Would the conversion of ADP to AMP require energy or release energy?

Chapter Outline

46

Your Turn!

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate and ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. What does AMP stand for? Would the conversion of ADP to AMP require energy or release energy?

AMP stands for adenosine monophosphate. The

conversion of ADP to AMP would release energy because it would entail the breaking of a high-energy phosphate anhydride bond. AMP contains one less phosphate than ADP.

Chapter Outline

47

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

There are two forms for chemical storage of biological energy.

• reduced carbon atoms • high-energy phosphate bonds The energy obtained from oxidation of carbon atoms is

converted to high-energy phosphate bonds in molecules like ATP.

Chapter Outline

48

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

The energy flow from nutrients with reduced carbons (energy-yielding nutrients) to high-energy phosphate bonds that are used to do work is summarized below.

Chapter Outline

49

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

Energy is stored in phosphate anhydride bonds through two biological processes.

• substrate-level phosphorylation • oxidative phosphorylation

Chapter Outline

50

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

Substrate-level phosphorylation is the process whereby energy derived from oxidation is used to form high-energy phosphate bonds on various biochemical molecules (substrates).

Chapter Outline

51

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

Three biological molecules that contain high-energy phosphate bonds (phosphorylated substrates) are shown here.

Chapter Outline

52

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

The phosphorylated substrates often transfer the phosphate to ADP to form ATP. This process is called substrate-level phosphorylation because ADP gains a phosphate from a cellular substrate.

Chapter Outline

53

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

Oxidative phosphorylation uses energy from redox reactions to form ATP.

This process is found in the mitochondria and starts by

oxidizing the two coenzymes, NADH and FADH2, using molecular oxygen in a process called mitochondrial electron transport.

Chapter Outline

54

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

The process involving FADH2 oxidation is shown here. Notice that two moles of ATP are formed from one mole of FAD.

Chapter Outline

55

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

The process involving NADH oxidation is shown here. Notice that three moles of ATP are formed from one mole of NAD+.

Chapter Outline

56

Phosphorylation: Energy Conversion

Energy is released when NADH and FADH2 are oxidized. This energy is trapped when ADP is phosphorylated to ATP.

Thus, oxidative phosphorylation combines oxidative

release of energy with phosphorylation of ADP.

Chapter Outline

57

Your Turn!

FADH2 and NADH are oxidized to form ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. The oxidation of which coenzyme produces more energy?

Chapter Outline

58

Your Turn!

FADH2 and NADH are oxidized to form ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. The oxidation of which coenzyme produces more energy?

The oxidation of one mole of FADH2 results in the

formation of two moles of ATP. The oxidation of NADH results in the formation of three moles of ATP. The oxidation of NADH produces more energy.

Chapter Outline

Photosynthesis

Light from the sun is the original source of nearly all energy for biological systems. Photosynthesis is a process by which energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy that is stored in chemical bonds.

Photosynthesis is performed by a wide variety of

organisms, both eucaryotic and procaryotic.

Chapter Outline

64

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis in higher plants is a complex series of reactions in which carbohydrates are synthesized from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.

Sunlight provides the large energy requirement for this process. An important side benefit of photosynthesis is the generation of oxygen, which is crucial to all aerobic metabolism.

Chapter Outline

65

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis traps light energy by reducing carbons. For eucaryotes the necessary electron-transfer reactions used in this process are segregated in the chloroplast.

The chloroplast contains an electron-transport system

within its internal membranes. Unlike the mitrochondrial system which oxidizes coenzymes to liberate energy, chloroplast electron-transport system reduces coenzymes with an input of energy.

Chapter Outline

66

Photosynthesis

The photosynthetic mechanism is complex, but it can be divided into two general components: the dark reactions and the light reactions.

• The dark reactions produce glucose from carbon dioxide, reduced coenzymes, and ATP.

• The light reactions of photosynthesis form the ATP and NADPH needed to produce glucose.

Chapter Outline

67

Photosynthesis

During the light reactions, light is absorbed by colored compounds (pigments) located in the chloroplasts. The most abundant of these pigments is chlorophyll.

Once the light energy is absorbed, it is transferred to

specific molecules (special chlorophylls) that lose electrons. These energized electrons travel through the chloroplast electron-transport system.

Chapter Outline

68

Photosynthesis

The electrons lost by these special chlorophylls are moved to higher energy levels until they can reduce molecules of the coenzyme NADP+ to form NADPH.

Water is the source of electrons (the electron donor), giving

up electrons and producing oxygen gas and hydrogen ions in the process.

Chapter Outline

69

Photosynthesis

The movement of electrons is shown here. Notice that ATP is produced from ADP and NADPH is produced from NADP+.

Chapter Outline

Photosynthesis

The overall redox reaction moves four electrons from two water molecules to produce two molecules of NADPH.

The NADPH and ATP produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis are used to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
